ACFID Opens Nominations for 2018 Awards

ACFID has announced that it is seeking nominations for three major awards which will be presented at ACFID's national conference on October 30-31, 2018.

ACFID is seeking nominations for the Sir Ron Wilson Human Rights Award, the Outstanding Contribution to the Sector Award, and the Media Award.

Commenting, CEO of ACFID, Marc Purcell, said: "The presentation of these awards is a highlight of our annual conference. It's a chance to celebrate extraordinary work and contributions to the aid and development sector."

In 2017 the Sir Ron Wilson Award – which recognises an outstanding contribution to advancing human rights – was presented to the Referendum Council for their work on constitutional reform and their Final Report of the Referendum Council, including the Uluru Statement.

The Outstanding Contribution to the Sector award – which recognises an outstanding contribution to the NGO sector over an extended period of time – was presented to Mark Webster, former CEO of ADRA Australia, who has dedicated over 20 years to ADRA’s work.
